Government operations and elections

Government ethics and corruption ›
  • Step up investigations and penalties for corrupt officials
  • End corruption in Washington
“Washington has become far too comfortable serving itself. Joe’s plan begins with three commonsense reforms to make Congress less profitable, less permanent, and finally accountable for the money it spends.”

Government waste and fraud ›
  • Cut waste, fraud and abuse in government spending

The national debt clock should be a warning, not a scoreboard.”
